Medicare: Centre of Excellence for Ultimate Health

Clinica Medicare, located in the leafy suburb of Elviria, is a health centre with a difference, providing an innovative holistic approach to healthcare as well as the traditional values and practices of a British Health Centre to the Costa del Sol. The clinic offers a complete service for traditional and complementary health including access to highly trained doctors, specialists and nurses, the latest equipment and facilities and skilled complementary therapists. David Donaldson, who heads the highly experienced team, told La Chispa: “we hope to be able to use our seven years’ experience of nursing services here on the coast to bring people to the clinic and get the best of both worlds in terms of traditional and holistic health care. Our mission statement is to heal and restore the body and open the mind.” Alongside diabetes, asthma and weight loss clinics there are also counselling, nutrition and meditation classes while complementary therapists offer reflexology, acupuncture and Bowen therapy among others.
